Jennifer Aniston has spent most of the summer quietly holed up at her Malibu, Calif., beach house, but that hasn't stopped the tabloids from drumming up plenty of drama on her behalf. While the latest Star unconvincingly blares, "Brad Still Loves You!" and Us Weekly wonders why Jen "can't find love," OK! is convinced she's once again spending quality time with British model Paul Sculfor, whom she was rumored to have parted ways with last month. According to the mag, the well-toned twosome stopped by seemingly indiscreet Los Angeles baby boutique Petit Tresor on July 17. "They were holding hands and whispering quietly to each other," says a spy. "Jen appeared to be very happy. They were acting like a married couple while shopping for various baby-related items like cribs, diaper bags and changing tables." Aniston purportedly picked out a $195 cashmere teddy bear, presumably as a present for one of her pals. So, what does the actress' spokesman have to a say about the rumored reunion? "We will not respond to any of this nonsense," he huffed to "Entertainment Tonight."

Kate Hudson raised eyebrows a few days back when comedian Dax Shepard literally gave her the shirt off his back to hide her famous face as they exited a popular Malibu eatery. But her rep is putting the kibosh on talk that she's rebounded from her bust-up with Owen Wilson. "It wasn't a date," the mouthpiece assures the New York Post, "just a group of friends having dinner and some fun." So why the cover-up? "It was just a big press stunt," a mole tells the paper. "She took his shirt just to [bleep] with the media. It didn't even block her face."

Kate Moss may be going cold turkey when it comes to getting Pete Doherty out of her system. The London Daily Mirror says the supermodel has changed all her phone numbers to ensure the recidivist rocker, whom she reportedly kicked to the curb after his eye wandered to a younger model, can't reach out and touch her. "Pete was still phoning up last weekend and in the end it was too much even for Kate," a snitch tells the tab. "She thought she had made things clear -- that he should never get in touch with her again, under any circumstances. But he failed to get the message, so she's taken drastic action. It's a pain for her but she's more adamant than ever about making a clean break." Despite her obstinate devotion to the perforation- and arrest-disposed Doherty during the last two years, "Kate is determined to wipe the slate clean and that means never speaking to him again ... She's spending a lot of time on her own getting her head around things. It's been difficult, but she knows in her heart she's made the right decision," the snitch says.

Meanwhile, is Moss' onetime love Johnny Depp planning to make his nearly decade-long relationship with Vanessa Paradis legal? That's the word from Extra, which hints the recent health scare of their 8-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, has given the effortlessly cool couple a push toward the chapel. Johnny and Vanessa, who are also parents to 5-year-old Jack, have been dogged with nuptial nattering off and on for years, most recently in May, when the London Daily Mail alleged they were looking to tie the knot this summer on their expansive estate in the South of France. "For all intents and purposes, we are married. We have two kids together and she is the woman in my life," Depp declared in 2005. "But if she ever said, 'Hey, let's get hitched,' I would do it in a second ... We'll do it if the kids want us to, or maybe when the kids are old enough to enjoy it with us."

There are more than 60 million reasons why Paul McCartney and Heather Mills haven't yet settled their bitter divorce. The Times of London reports the music icon has offered his estranged missus $41 million to sign off on their split, but she believes their time together is worth more in the exclusive neighborhood of $102 million. The exes, who split in May 2006 after nearly four years of marriage, are facing a potentially dirty-laundry-filled court date in February unless they can come to an agreement on the $60 million difference. Says one attorney, "It could well go to trial, because they are both quite stubborn."

Will Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz pledge to stick together for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in heavy eyeliner and streamlined schnozzes? Rumors began bubbling this week that the Fall Out Boy front man, 28, who recently assured In Touch he had no intention of settling down anytime soon, proposed to the overhauled warbler, 22, before hitting the stage at Live Earth on July 7. Baby talk quickly followed. But Ashlee's rep assures Us Weekly that the rumblings are "absolutely not true."

Joel Madden continues to tap dance around whether Nicole Richie is going to be his baby mama. During an interview this week with a Pennsylvania radio station, he made it clear the stork subject was off-limits. "I don't speak about home at work," he explained (via Us, which has pronounced the rickety starlet pregnant). "It's my rule. It kills people, I guess, but yeah, I don't talk about it." Another thing he probably won't be talking about: The new cover of the National Enquirer, which trumpets Nicole's so-called "baby shocker," speculating on "who's the real daddy?" and naming several non-Madden suspects. We suggest a strong scrubbing with a wire brush after reading.

That certain ineffable quality Adrian Grenier looks for in a girl? Her ability to fill out a bikini. People reports the "Entourage" star is seeing Sports Illustrated swimsuit model-cum-actress Melissa Keller, who guest-starred on his HBO series last year. The pair has apparently been fitfully dating for a couple years but ramped up the romance in recent weeks.
